Dinosaur Genera List corrections #76

[Dinogeorge@aol.com]

Dann Pigdon and a few other Australian dinosaur-list members note the
appearance in print of the name _Qantassaurus_ (named after the Australian
airline) for a smallish hypsilophodontid to be described from Dinosaur Cove.
The "type" specimen of this genus (no species name is given) is an almost
complete skeleton with a pathologically stunted tibia (osteomyelitis). The
name is attributed to Pat Vickers-Rich, so it becomes name #809 in the
Dinosaur Genera List:

Qantassaurus Vickers-Rich, 1997 [nomen nudum]

This becomes only the third dinosaur name to begin with the letter Q.
